doesn't seem to be a newsgroup for it?

Anyways,  I am wondering what the proper way to deal with external 
non-D dependencies is.   For example, libd-llvm uses a lot of libraries 
from LLVM whose library path changes from machine to machine, and some 
of the list of 30 libraries changes as well.   They have a nice 
configuration tool llvm-config which emits ldflags which are very nice 
to use from makefiles but I don't see any way to obtain this 
information from within the dub.json.

Do I essentially need to make an autotools-esque script to generate the 
dub.json?  That seems to be at odds with the ability to register 
packages.

I'm not sure what the answer is but there is an official forum 
which might yield some useful information.
